Uletovsky District Local History Museum

About museum

In 2004 the Uletovsky District Local History Museum was established on the basis of a school local history museum. Its founder is Y. I. Charkin, an honored education worker of Zabaykalsky Krai, who was awarded the "Patriot of Russia" medal in 2012. The museum features four halls: the Ethnography Hall, the Soviet Period Hall, the Hall of Military Glory and the Hall of Labor Glory. The Ethnography Hall houses exhibitions of the culture and daily life of the Semeisk, Buryat and Cossack peoples, as well as the interior of a peasant's hut. The Soviet Period Hall displays the banners of the district's collective farms, the kolkhoz chairman's desk, clocks, instruments and much more. The Hall of Military Glory presents a pictorial gallery of local residents who participated in the Great Patriotic War, which includes 39 portraits and continues to be supplemented with new ones. The Hall of Labor Glory contains materials about workers and fellow countrymen who made a significant contribution to the development of the district. The museum hosts lectures, museum lessons, guided educational tours, portrait evenings and other events.
